Samplers can often be a mixed bag of tricks. But, without any fancy words or technical descriptions, I will simply say this Audio Quest Sampler is "ALL GOOD". The music is absolutley super and is one of the finest examples of "real" blues I have had the pleasure of listening to and just enjoying. So, pop this CD in a good player, pour yourself a nice drink, sit back and enjoy some of the finest blues you can put in your home. Thank God for the Bluesman.
